did you enjoy creating it? did you have fun? does it make you happy thinking about it and sharing it? then that's it. you did it. you found the secret sauce. "was that a waste of time?" of course not, fuckface. expressing yourself creatively is always worthwhile. you're doing great

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave.

Tell them:
1. Vote NO on Cloture
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.

Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.

TODAY is the showdown.

I need y'all to sit with this headline and understand what is being done to our community. They're trying to criminalize our very existence.

This is a campaign of eradication.

Bernie Sanders: "I think this is a prelude not only to cutting benefits, but to privatizing Social Security ... why do you lie so much about Social Security? Why do you make it look like it's a broken system? The reason is to get people to lose faith in the system so you can give it over to Wall St"

DOCUMENT DESTRUCTION:

My reporter Brett Murphy obtained a remarkable directive to folks at USAID: Empty the safes with the classified and personnel records and then,

"Shred as many documents first, and reserve the burn bags for when the shredder becomes unavailable or needs a break."

I was such a snob when The Lorax was adapted into a movie in 2012 but I'm grading reflective essays for Environmental Literature right now and like a full generation is crediting it as the origin of their ecological consciousness

These are frightening times and frightening times call for active, courageous leadership. Every time one of us (a family member or a senator) takes a step forward in this fight, a thousand pairs of eyes watch and learn. Courage is contagious: indivisibleproject.formstack.com/forms/organi...

Throughout US history:

Now a tiny number of BIPOC & women get rights & fragile MAGAs criminalize DEIA.
